Same here. At least you can just turn it off on this page, and hopefully that will do something.
Is is too late to change my email address on Facebook? I'm assuming Facebook keeps a history of my email addresses that it can still associate it to my account. Another option is to change all my email address at these sites.
How can I block it? some apps are on my iPhone, but I don't have the Facebook app on it (I do have messenger), and only used the apps on the phone. Aren't they isolated in some way?
A bit weird that my Monzo seems to be sending data to Facebook?
Hmm. I have no website activity listed - but seemingly every single Android game and a few other apps is sending "activity" to FB, despite me never using any feature to associate the two. This sounds like: https://privacyinternational.org/report/2647/how-apps-androi... Any sensible way of stopping this?
My off-facebook activity was empty. That's encouraging, because it looks like my countermeasures have been working: - Fingerprinting resistance in Firefox (privacy.resistFingerprinting = true) - First-party isolation in Firefox (privacy.firstparty.isolate = true) - Blocking third-party cookies in Firefox (network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 1) - Firefox container when I need to login to ad/tracking companies (Facebook, G…
I don't think they will tell you the whole truth. It's just like with Google history you can "delete". They have the data stored for the authorities anyway. They are required to do it by law (Patriot Act etc.)
This is true:
>We receive more details and activity than what appears in your off-Facebook activity. For technical and accuracy reasons, we don’t show all the activity we’ve received. This includes things like information we’ve received when you’re not logged into Facebook, or when we can’t confirm that you’ve previously used Facebook on that device. We also don’t show details like the item you’ve added to your shopping cart.
Deliveroo has evidently been sending them all my orders. Or at least, there are as many 'interactions' as I have made orders. I don't log in via my Facebook so that is an unwelcome surprise.
In my profile, they managed to obtain a `PURCHASE` event from Macy's -- for an in-person purchase at a physical store . Macy's has my email address and certainly linked it to my credit card number, but this is nonetheless seriously creepy. I just tried to change my email address on Facebook and discovered that they canonicalize plus and dot variations in gmail.com addresses, and thus claim that the new email address…
If you want to disable facebook tracking out of facebook in the future, it's possible on this link: https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity/future_activi... EDIT: the link doesn't seem to work, so you can click on "Manage Future Activity" => "Manage Future Activity" in the popup => Disable "Future Off-Facebook Activity"
> We will still receive future activities from companies and organisations you visit. These might be used for analytics and to improve our advertising systems, but will not be connected to your account.
(Translated from Dutch because for some reason Facebook figured I'd want this particular message in Dutch.)
Man I feel hopeless. I have not connected my Facebook account for over 90% of these sites/apps but they still sent my data to Facebook.

Blocking the entire Facebook ASN at the firewall/network level stops this. Google is a bit more tricky as they also have GCP so you can’t block their ASN without also blocking innocent services.
